"Don't come here even if you're desperate or else we'll give you £3000 and fly you somewhere else where they'll give you a house." That's some deterrent. Job done. Well done, team.
Imagine if all ICS & Trusts switched their financial models towards prevention & community investment. Acute hospitals overwhelmed by “demand” is a sign of our systemic failure to do this at scale & pace. Instead of pulling people out of the river let’s try to prevent falling in.

A great personal pleasure for me last year was working with Warrington Council & the brilliant filmmaker Leighton Wise to tell stories about the diversity & value of adult social care in the town. Here's Dave's story: youtube.com/watch?v=o5YEfQ…
This is certainly true for me. PIP means I get help with my day to day activities, so my limited energy and deeply uncooperative body can be focussed on earning a living

Stories you'll rarely see in the press. When the system fails, its news. When it works it's too often ignored. Former often destroys lives, latter more often saves them. Proper 'community' care.

Brilliant blogpost by @jennifermor contrasting the evidence based origins of Disability Living Allowance under a Tory government in 1990 and the evidence free ideas that have shaped reform since 2010 jennymorrisnet.blogspot.com/2013/01/disabi…
PIP is not a welfare 'safety net'. It's part of a framework of financial and practical assistance designed to support disabled people to participate on an equal basis with others throughout life. Any reform has to be evaluated through that lens.
Ministers keep claiming they want a "grown up" conversation about disability benefits while at the same time repeatedly and deliberately conflating PIP with not working when they know it's paid regardless of employment status.

Hmm? Announcing doing away with PIP on the same day parliament debates assisted dying? Do I see a theme?

These conversations are integral to our work. With co-design central to the process, we’re prototyping a digi resource to help people connect with others already directing support & to develop confidence & skills to take advantage of opps self directed support gives. @HealthFdn
Fantastic day yesterday sharing learnings from the UK and Australia about how we can re-centralise power, preference and control to people self directing their own support. Thank you @Meredithcoote1 Julie @incontrolorg @neilmcrowther @killaney @Skinner_M and Charlie Fountaine!
@neilmcrowther I agree. Given that people are 'disabled' by the way society constructs itself (in terms of everything from infrastructure to attitudes & value) it seems only fair that there shld be some financial offset (small tho it is) to assist people to manage the tricky everyday world
To be clear, I've been sick, again, but I'm feeling pretty good right now. 4 more shows in Portugal & then home. I'll take the Summer to address these recurring bouts of illness. I'm very much looking forward to Irish & UK shows in September. 🏌️♂️ 🚴♂️ lloydcole.com/time-out/
@neilmcrowther Will go back and read Sen again!
This is certainly true for me. PIP means I get help with my day to day activities, so my limited energy and deeply uncooperative body can be focussed on earning a living
The really wild thing is that for a lot of disabled people, PIP is what enables us to set up our lives so we *can* work
Interesting⬇️ Time to put pressure on MPs election year!
The thing about PIP reform, unlike unemployment benefit reform, is that it’s not universally popular among Tory MPs who devote a lot of constituency office time to supporting people with applications & appeals. Be interesting to know how united the party is over these ‘proposals’
They're called Blue Heaven. Best not to ask why. Just enjoy #TulipFest24

Good point from @neilmcrowther. My (Tory) MP @timloughton concerned when I asked for PIP help in 2017 & genuinely shocked when I got lower rate than previous DLA award (reinstated on mandatory reconsideration). I reminded him that’s the ‘welfare reform’ he voted for…

@UKLabour Sunak knows the media love benefits bashing & hopes to achieve a narrative around Labour being the party of scroungers. This is not currently law & won't become so before the election. Please don't panic, but do make sure you use your vote to get rid of these nasty bullies /3
@abonomy @neilmcrowther All the Star Wars films are on Disney Plus now
Absolutely this. In performance after performance @DanielMays9 has demonstrated his extraordinary versatility - he’s a class act. His portrayal of Peter Wildeblood in Against the Law will stay with me always.
For years the privileged people in power in this industry dismissed @DanielMays9 as working class, a one trick pony but, as those of us who know him will attest, he has always been a true artist. He paints, dances, sings and is one of our finest actors. So proud ❤️
